Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring sitter serving North County
Hi, I'm Alex! I'm an Oceanside local here to make sure your furry family members are loved and cared for whether you're down the street or across the world. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight home sitting for both dogs and cats. Every visit includes a photo update so you always know your pet is happy and safe. A little about me: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life and I treat every animal in my care like my own. I require a meet & greet before every new booking. I want to know your pet's routine, quirks, and favorite spots before you leave, so the transition is stress-free for them. I'm fully insured, background checked, and committed to being the reliable, consistent person your pet looks forward to seeing. Serving Oceanside and North County San Diego.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Thomas was very meticulous in learning about caring for our dog! He gave us regular updates and went above and beyond to take her outside for exercise and mental stimulation. Really appreciate Thomas!
Thomas is a stellar dog sitter and one of the best I've ever worked with! I really appreciated how responsive, reliable, responsible, accommodating, attentive, and nurturing he was. At our meet and greet, he acquainted my dogs and me with his property, asked questions, and answered mine. I could tell that my girls would be in wonderful hands. Thomas and his wife Michelle watched my two pups for five plus days. When it came time to drop them off, he was open to meeting a few minutes early to go over routines, and I was impressed that he took notes (as he did at the meet and greet) to ensure that he would be able to continue caring for my girls the way they are accustomed to being cared for. During the time I was away, Thomas sent cute photos and updates daily. When problems arose, he took action and was super positive. For example, he was kind about one of my dogs having an accident, and said it was no issue to clean it up. When my other dog looked like she wasn't drinking water, Thomas made sure to add water to her food. He and Michelle took my girls for daily walks and made sure that they ate their meals and had their medications as directed. I felt at peace knowing that Thomas was taking tremendous care of my pups while I was on my trip. I was grateful that I didn't have to worry about how my girls were doing. I would highly recommend Thomas to anyone who needs a dogsitter!

I'm available seven days a week and happy to work around whatever schedule works best for you and your pet. Morning, midday, evening, and overnight bookings are all available. Consistency matters to me - if I commit to a booking, I show up.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When I'm in your home I treat it with the same respect I'd want for my own. I double-check that doors and gates are securely closed before releasing any dog, and I never walk multiple unfamiliar dogs together without prior approval from both owners. For cats I make sure windows are closed and secure before opening any doors inside the home. I always confirm feeding instructions, medication schedules, and emergency vet information before a booking begins - ideally at the meet & greet. If anything seems off with your pet's health or behavior during a visit, I contact you immediately rather than waiting. Your house key and access information are kept secure and never shared with anyone.
